I adore her voice and looks. The name is now officially named "Elektra Heart" I guess, since she said it, released in the beginning of next year!

She wants to be new Adele :lol:

I have to be

too - given that her previous few songs - which were far better fared far worse than this. It should hang around a few weeks like Hollywood did.

I just layed on the grass earlier tonight pumping this really loud from my speakers, without moving an inch of my body - it's all about her fairylike godzilla voice and the pure melody.

#20 Chart Update - 3 places higher than Florence. Both performing below (many) fan expectations. Maybe people have been more concerned with the hot weather?

Aren't both A-Listed on Radio 1? A bit of a letdown given that they're getting such brilliant airplay.

The hot weather was last week, it's been really windy all day (here anyway

). And i've never even heard Florence's new song, YGLT was the best thing she ever did and that was 2 years ago.

I dunno why but I have feeling this album will flop hard.

To say Im angry at how disappointly this is doing is an understatement :cry:

This is such an unexpected flop, I thought it was a surefire top 10.

The hot weather continued into Sunday and Monday.

Come on guys, it's not that bad! She's never even had a Top 10 yet anyway and Top 20 will still be a better chart position than all her other singles bar "Hollywood".

by **westhammer** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:26 pm

I know, but I really though she would get major success this time around. I guess it's not meant to be

by **MJH** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:03 pm

I know how you feel

When I first heard this I thought Top 10 but it's just not getting much airplay, such a shame! Is it still Top 20 in midweeks?

by **king_oxymoron** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:52 pm

Nope, 22 today.

by **BLover** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:54 pm

This song is brilliant.

by **joiPrince_JO** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 5:39 pm

Album is coming out in February! Just confirmed at the UStream live chat!

Her album is full of "mainstream pop" so don't count her out yet.

Guess we shouldn't be surprised this isn't top 10 but we can't blame Radio 1 for this, it's the other mainstream radio stations who do seem to play the same things for far too long than new stuff like this

Yes!! I agree!
They never take a chance with alternative artists like Marina like Radio 1 do.

I said this wasn't going to be a hit, she can do much better and hopefully the next single reflects that.

by **topopMAC1** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:27 pm

Ended up at #25 in the end...

It's terrible that that stupid Yeo Valley advert is higher on iTunes that this masterpiece! :-?

Why isn't it connecting with the public?

No promo. Pixie Lott, for example, promoted her single weeks before it was acutally released.

It's a good dance record but I am afraid she alienated half her fanbase with it while it doesn't sound "teenage" enough to get her the masses. I like it but I can't say I'm too excited to see her going dance

by **Plym** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:38 pm

Has she not done any?? Did she not even do Radio 1 Live Lounge? That is PERFECT for her beautiful voice!
